The Hottest Gen Z Gadget Is a 20-Year-Old Digital Camera

The Hottest Gen Z Gadget Is a 20-Year-Old Digital Camera | Communications Major | Scoop.it

Last spring, Anthony Tabarez celebrated prom like many of today’s high schoolers: dancing the night away and capturing it through photos and videos. The snapshots show Mr. Tabarez, 18, and his friends grinning, jumping around and waving their arms from a crowded dance floor.

 

But instead of using his smartphone, Mr. Tabarez documented prom night with an Olympus FE-230, a 7.1-megapixel, silver digital camera made in 2007 and previously owned by his mother. During his senior year of high school, cameras like it started appearing in classrooms and at social gatherings. On prom night, Mr. Tabarez passed around his camera, which snapped fuchsia-tinted photos that looked straight from the early aughts.

 

“We’re so used to our phones,” said Mr. Tabarez, a freshman at California State University, Northridge. “When you have something else to shoot on, it’s more exciting.”

Follow the "It" Girl Trajectory through 100 Years of Media | Communications Major | Scoop.it

After Facebook ate the media, “It” girls no longer needed to coax the press or the blogosphere into writing about them (or to hire publicists to coax or protest on their behalf). Nor did they have to join the press to write about themselves and one another. They could be their own bully pulpits, their own gazetteers.

‘Abbott Elementary’ and the Joys of Living Outside the Main Edit

‘Abbott Elementary’ and the Joys of Living Outside the Main Edit | Communications Major | Scoop.it

The way “Abbott” deploys comic mix-ups is a technique the show shares with traditional sitcoms, the 20th-century kind with their multicamera setups, stagelike sets and audience laughter (real or simulated). But “Abbott” exists in a world that has been slowly shedding that style. Many examples still exist, but by the end of the aughts, multicamera shows were already seen as quaint compared with their critically acclaimed new counterparts — single-camera comedies like “Arrested Development,” “The Bernie Mac Show” or “Modern Family.” These shows could borrow techniques from film, documentary and reality TV — cutaways, confessional interviews, voice-over — to access jokes unavailable in the old studio-audience setup. The most obvious predecessors of “Abbott” were among them: the American adaptation of “The Office” and, later, “Parks and Recreation,” both long-running NBC mockumentary sitcoms about close-knit workplace colleagues.

Where Did All Your Zoom Friends Go? | Communications Major | Scoop.it

Three years since the pandemic was declared, many of the apps, platforms and digital tools that millions relied on to stay connected are struggling, shrinking or shutting down. Zoom has slashed 15 percent of its work force. Epic Games killed off the group video app Houseparty in late 2021, and even Meta’s Portal devices, which after years of challenges surged in popularity in 2020, got the ax last year.
